The Flagship: Three Experiences

In a narrow space only 14 feet wide and 110 feet long, we create three experiences for the enjoyment of gourmet chocolates. 1) An intimate café with a sensory installation depicts the story of chocolate around the world. 2) The marketplace as the retail hub features a hand-painted, groin-vaulted ceiling. 3) The “Chocolate Theater” presents chefs creating in their “Chocolate Lab.” Painstakingly cast by hand in Marrakesh, plaster Moroccan arches serve as the gateways between the experiences. Design themes also explore the sensual and spiritual, enlightenment and transformation, and humor and wit.

The Factory: Global Charm and Willy Wonka
Vosges’ 45,000-square-foot, LEED Silver-qualified, chocolate factory revitalizes an existing warehouse, and as part of the Chicago River Corridor Development Plan, catalyzes the river bank. In addition to the factory, the project includes Vosges’ national headquarters, a museum with sensory exhibits, retail and restaurant, and event spaces. As a public amenity, this project offers a community park with outdoor dining, maze, secret gardens, children’s areas, and a river dock. Exterior features include a 45-foot tall ‘living’ entry tower covered in foliage and seen from the river, and decorative ironwork that casts intricate shadows on the brick surfaces. Interior details include industrial steel window walls, period newspaper wallcovering, and hand-painted Viennese floor tiles. The completed first phase of project was the recipient of the 2013 Award of Excellence for the Industrial Redevelopment of the Year, from the National Association of Industrial and Office Parks.
